Some dietary supplements or other natural products, such as herbal remedies, teas, and colloidal silver, have been promoted for preventing or treating the new strain of coronavirus first detected in Wuhan, China. There is no scientific evidence that any of these are effective, and some may be unsafe.

The best way to prevent coronavirus infection is to avoid exposure to the virus. Everyday actions that can help prevent the spread of this and other respiratory illnesses include:
  • Washing your hands with soap and water often for at least 20 seconds.
  • Using an alcohol-based sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
  • Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoiding close contact with people who are sick.
  • Staying home when you’re sick and keeping sick children home from school.
  • Covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue and then throwing the tissue in the trash.
  • Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
